Congratulations Chippewa's Science Olympiad team!

Calling all Chromebook Chargers

If your student has borrowed a Chromebook Charger from the Chippewa IMC or if you notice you have a few extra at home please send them with your student to drop off in the front office. Our inventory of chargers is very low and would love to have a few more on hand.


Thanks for taking a look!

From the Health Office

Cold and flu season has arrived. We have started seeing an uptick in illnesses, including the flu, common cold, and other respiratory illnesses across the community. Here are a few reminders to help keep your students, your family, and others healthy as we head into the holiday season:


  • Cover your cough

  • Keep your student home if they are not feeling well - find the guidelines here

  • Drink plenty of fluids

  • Wash hands frequently

  • Test for COVID (we have home tests available at school - just ask the Health Office if you would like one sent home or if you would like to pick one up)

Let's Talk About It Blog!

District mental health staff recently started a monthly blog, "Let's Talk About It!" that will address substance use and mental health challenges that students and families may experience. The goal is to provide information, quality resources and support related to mental health and substance use. Read the first entry about vaping here.
